  • Page 6: Model Scope/General Description

    The La Marche model MXHF is a high frequency battery charger designed for use in industrial applications. The MXHF is offered with DC output voltages of 24, 36 and 48VDC with output currents of 60, 120 and 180ADC. These chargers may be powered with 208-240VAC single phase or three phase. For 380-480VAC three phase only.

  • Page 7: Equipment Handling

    Storing the MXHF If the MXHF is to be stored for more than a few days after delivery, it should be stored within its shipping container. The location chosen for storage should be within an ambient temperature of -20°C to +70°C with a non-condensing relative humidity of 5 to 95%.

  • Page 8: Installing The Mxhf

    Mounting the MXHF There is an optional universal mounting bracket that can be fixed to the base, side and rear panels of the MXHF charger. The bracket enables the charger to be screwed or bolted to the bench, wall or floor surface and helps to protect the charger against physical damage.

  • Page 9: Making The Ac Input Connections

    The process has been simplified using the AC filter board which is mounted inside of the MXHF. Simply remove the top cover to access the AC filter board, it includes mounting posts for bus bar selection and headers for auxiliary power supply voltage selection.

  • Page 10: Auxiliary Power Supply Voltage Selection

    2.2.2 Auxiliary Power Supply Voltage Selection The auxiliary plug provides AC for the Auxiliary DC Power Supply that powers the MPC35 control PCB and its associated display and indicators. Connect the plug to the appropriate header, refer to the table below. AC Input Voltage Aux.

  • Page 11: Relay Configuration

    All relay contacts are located on the MPC35 Controller module. To access relay connections, simply remove the right side cover of the MXHF. Always be cautious when opening up the MXHF, make sure the power is not coming into the unit.

  • Page 12: Alarms

    Alarms The MXHF includes comprehensive protection and alarm monitoring. The alarms are graded into Urgent and Non-urgent alarms. Urgent alarms indicate a dangerous condition that immediately stops the charge cycle. Non-urgent alarms are indicated on the LCD and are logged in the alarm log but do not actually stop the charge cycle.

    2.4.2 Battery Related Alarms Over discharged Battery <Urgent> the battery is still under 1.9 V/C after 30 seconds of charge and indicates a faulty battery that needs investigation. Deeply Discharge Battery <Non-urgent> the battery initially is under 1.9 V/C but recovers within 30 seconds of the charge cycle start, this alarm normally comes up when a battery is unplugged from the lift truck and immediately plugged into the Charger.
